Security personnel reassigned after firearms discovered near London mayor's residence

Security officers assigned to protect London Mayor Sadiq Khan have been removed from their duties following an incident where a bag containing firearms was found on a public street. The discovery was made on Tuesday evening by a pregnant woman near the mayor's home in south London. According to reports, the bag contained an MP5 semi-automatic carbine manufactured by Heckler & Koch, a Glock pistol, a taser, and ammunition. The woman's partner, Jordan Griffiths, described finding the heavy bag suspicious and bringing it inside their residence before discovering the weapons. He expressed shock at the contents and concern that the weapons could have accidentally discharged, potentially endangering his partner and their unborn child. The incident has prompted an investigation into security protocols for public officials. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the reassignment of personnel while the matter is reviewed. This event raises questions about firearm security procedures for protection details in urban environments.
